2016 new Hesketh 24 first photos & details production model
HandBuiltLuxury...
The release of the limited edition Hesketh 24 marks the beginning of a bright new chapter in the history of this famousBritish marque.
As the first all-new Hesketh model to be produced in some thirty years, the exclusive Hesketh 24 celebrates the marque’s impressive roots in Formula 1 with Hesketh Racing and their famous driver James Hunt. Taking inspiration from the Hesketh 308F1 car that Hunt drove to victory in the 1975Dutch grand prix, the Hesketh 24 will once again prove passion for engineering excellence and quality can achieve outstanding results.
Under new ownership and management, Hesketh Motorcycles Ltd has shown in the production of the new 24, just the beginning of plans to establish a British motorcycle company with a reputation for quality, luxurious, hand-built machines.
Named after the number on James Hunt’s 1975 F1 car, this new model will be limited edition with only 24 built and on sale internationally.
Developed and designed by the Hesketh Motorcycles team, the 24 uses only top quality components and has been painstakingly built with attention to every detail. The vision behind the Hesketh 24 was to produce a modern interpretation of what a Hesketh should be in todays’ market. Retro styling coupled with modern technology, the Hesketh 24 balances the style, quality and luxury of the original bikes, but with the technical excellence and reliability that the marque deserves.
The heart of this new model is undoubtedly the substantial 1,950cc V-twinS&S X-wedge engine, offering an undeniably high amount of torque. Air-cooled and with a proven power-train, the meaty V-twin was chosen for its excellent reputation and reliability. In a unique twist the X-wedge is also the engine used for the quintessentially British Morgan three-wheelers – a British icon using a proven American motor goes to show the quality of X-wedge.
Modifying the engine especially to suit the Hesketh 24, the team turned to expert British tuners, HarrisPerformance Engines, putting to good use their forty years’ experience in pushrod engines and drag racing to produce the exceptionally powerful 24 engine. Indeed Hesketh will be able to offer all limited edition Hesketh 24 customers at least three different power options on their bespoke model, with Harris providing stage engine tuning for various levels of preferred power.
The Hesketh 24 bodywork is in the unmistakeable colours of James Hunt’s Hesketh F1 car with graphics designed and produced by none other than BSB champion, Tommy Hill. In fact Tommy will be the first person to ride the Hesketh 24 in public at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed as he takes the new model up the famous hill-climb.
Dripping in brand-name components from the likes of Öhlins, Beringer and Baker, the Hesketh 24 uses only the best of the best – offering unbeatable luxury and exclusivity. For example the seat is made from the finest Italian nappa leather. Fully waterproof and super-soft the seat is the work of F1 class leather upholsterers, d:class, who have already put their name to the seats of McLaren.
Each of the limited edition Hesketh 24 models will feature an 18 carat gold plaque on top of the tank with the unique number of that particular model. Along with the knowledge that each bike has been hand-built by Hesketh technicians at their Surrey headquarters. Hesketh 24 owners will enjoy full-service back-up from the Hesketh team with a comprehensive two-year warranty as standard.
To own one of the exclusive Hesketh 24 models is to own a piece of modern history and a piece of the unique story of Hesketh.

FURTHER READING
“Most people agree that we need to improve our economic system somehow. It threatens our planet through excessive consumption, distracts us with irrelevant advertising, leaves people hungry and without healthcare, and fuels unnecessary wars. Yet we’re also often keen to dismiss the ideas of its most famous and ambitious critic, Karl Marx. This isn’t very surprising. In practice, his political and economic ideas have been used to design disastrously planned economies and nasty dictatorships. Frankly, the remedies Marx proposed for the ills of the world now sound a bit demented. He thought we should abolish private property. People should not be allowed to own things. At certain moments one can sympathise. But it’s like wanting to ban gossip or forbid watching television. It’s going to war with human behaviour. And Marx believed the world would be put to rights by a dictatorship of the proletariat; which does not mean anything much today. Openly Marxist parties received a total of only 1,685 votes in the 2010 UK general election, out of the nearly 40 million ballots cast…”

Production vehicle

The characteristics of a production vehicle or production car are mass-produced identical models, offered for sale to the public, and able to be legally driven on public roads (street legal). Legislation and other rules further define the production vehicle within particular countries or uses. There is no single fixed global definition of the term.

Origin

In 1897 the term production car was used to describe a railway carriage that carried the scenery for an opera company. The earliest use of the term production car being applied to motor cars, found to date, was in a June 1914 American advertisement for a Regal motor car. The phrase was a shortened form of mass-produced or quantity-produced car. The phrase was also used in terms of the car to be made in production, as opposed to the prototype.

At that time production cars referred to cheaper vehicles such as Model T's that were made in relatively large numbers on production lines, as opposed to the more expensive coach built models. Now the term has broadened to include vehicles that are hand assembled, or assembled on a production or assembly line. The main criteria being that there are a number of the same model with the same specifications.

Commons-based peer production

Commons-based peer production is a term coined by Harvard Law School professor Yochai Benkler. It describes a new model of socioeconomic production in which large numbers of people work cooperatively (usually over the Internet). Commons-based projects generally have less rigid hierarchical structures than those under more traditional business models. Often—but not always—commons-based projects are designed without a need for financial compensation for contributors.

The term is often used interchangeably with the term social production.

Overview

Benkler contrasts commons-based peer production with firm production, in which tasks are delegated based on a central decision-making process, and market-based production, in which allocating different prices to different tasks serves as an incentive to anyone interested in performing a task.

Benkler first introduced the term in his 2002 paper "Coase's Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm", whose title refers to the Linux mascot and to Ronald Coase, who originated the transaction costs theory of the firm that provides the methodological template for the paper's analysis of peer production. The paper cites Eben Moglen as the originator of the concept.

Karl Marx

Karl Marx (/mɑːrks/;German pronunciation:[ˈkaɐ̯l ˈmaɐ̯ks]; 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a philosopher, economist, sociologist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. Born in Prussia (now Rhineland-Palatinate), he later became stateless and spent much of his life in London. Marx's work in economics laid the basis for much of the current understanding of labour and its relation to capital, and subsequent economic thought. He published numerous books during his lifetime, the most notable being The Communist Manifesto (1848) and Das Kapital (1867–1894).

Born into a wealthy middle-class family in Trier in the Prussian Rhineland, Marx studied at the universities of Bonn and Berlin where he became interested in the philosophical ideas of the Young Hegelians. After his studies he wrote for the Rheinische Zeitung, a radical newspaper in Cologne, and began to work out the theory of the materialist conception of history. He moved to Paris in 1843, where he began writing for other radical newspapers and met Friedrich Engels, who would become his lifelong friend and collaborator. In 1849 he was exiled and moved to London together with his wife and children, where he continued writing and formulating his theories about social and economic activity. He also campaigned for socialism and became a significant figure in the International Workingmen's Association.

Crash Course

Plot

Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.

The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.

Free Range Egg Production Model

This is the free-range layer model we intend to implement as a social enterprise with rural low-income farmers. If they sell the eggs themselves at the Farmers' Market, each egg should fetch rm1.00 each. We will supply them 200 pullets that are close to laying unlike what is happening now when the poor farmers are given day-olds and in no time, disease will wipe out all the birds.
At the very least, the farmers can expect an income of between rm2500 to rm3000.00 per month.
We will be starting with five farmers in Pahang.

The release of the limited edition Hesketh 24 marks the beginning of a bright new chapter in the history of this famousBritish marque.
As the first all-new Hesketh model to be produced in some thirty years, the exclusive Hesketh 24 celebrates the marque’s impressive roots in Formula 1 with Hesketh Racing and their famous driver James Hunt. Taking inspiration from the Hesketh 308F1 car that Hunt drove to victory in the 1975Dutch grand prix, the Hesketh 24 will once again prove passion for engineering excellence and quality can achieve outstanding results.
Under new ownership and management, Hesketh Motorcycles Ltd has shown in the production of the new 24, just the beginning of plans to establish a British motorcycle company with a reputation for quality, luxurious, hand-built machines.
Named after the number on James Hunt’s 1975 F1 car, this new model will be limited edition with only 24 built and on sale internationally.
Developed and designed by the Hesketh Motorcycles team, the 24 uses only top quality components and has been painstakingly built with attention to every detail. The vision behind the Hesketh 24 was to produce a modern interpretation of what a Hesketh should be in todays’ market. Retro styling coupled with modern technology, the Hesketh 24 balances the style, quality and luxury of the original bikes, but with the technical excellence and reliability that the marque deserves.
The heart of this new model is undoubtedly the substantial 1,950cc V-twinS&S X-wedge engine, offering an undeniably high amount of torque. Air-cooled and with a proven power-train, the meaty V-twin was chosen for its excellent reputation and reliability. In a unique twist the X-wedge is also the engine used for the quintessentially British Morgan three-wheelers – a British icon using a proven American motor goes to show the quality of X-wedge.
Modifying the engine especially to suit the Hesketh 24, the team turned to expert British tuners, HarrisPerformance Engines, putting to good use their forty years’ experience in pushrod engines and drag racing to produce the exceptionally powerful 24 engine. Indeed Hesketh will be able to offer all limited edition Hesketh 24 customers at least three different power options on their bespoke model, with Harris providing stage engine tuning for various levels of preferred power.
The Hesketh 24 bodywork is in the unmistakeable colours of James Hunt’s Hesketh F1 car with graphics designed and produced by none other than BSB champion, Tommy Hill. In fact Tommy will be the first person to ride the Hesketh 24 in public at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed as he takes the new model up the famous hill-climb.
Dripping in brand-name components from the likes of Öhlins, Beringer and Baker, the Hesketh 24 uses only the best of the best – offering unbeatable luxury and exclusivity. For example the seat is made from the finest Italian nappa leather. Fully waterproof and super-soft the seat is the work of F1 class leather upholsterers, d:class, who have already put their name to the seats of McLaren.

Modifying the engine especially to suit the Hesketh 24, the team turned to expert British tuners, HarrisPerformance Engines, putting to good use their forty years’ experience in pushrod engines and drag racing to produce the exceptionally powerful 24 engine. Indeed Hesketh will be able to offer all limited edition Hesketh 24 customers at least three different power options on their bespoke model, with Harris providing stage engine tuning for various levels of preferred power.
The Hesketh 24 bodywork is in the unmistakeable colours of James Hunt’s Hesketh F1 car with graphics designed and produced by none other than BSB champion, Tommy Hill. In fact Tommy will be the first person to ride the Hesketh 24 in public at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed as he takes the new model up the famous hill-climb.
Dripping in brand-name components from the likes of Öhlins, Beringer and Baker, the Hesketh 24 uses only the best of the best – offering unbeatable luxury and exclusivity. For example the seat is made from the finest Italian nappa leather. Fully waterproof and super-soft the seat is the work of F1 class leather upholsterers, d:class, who have already put their name to the seats of McLaren.
Each of the limited edition Hesketh 24 models will feature an 18 carat gold plaque on top of the tank with the unique number of that particular model. Along with the knowledge that each bike has been hand-built by Hesketh technicians at their Surrey headquarters. Hesketh 24 owners will enjoy full-service back-up from the Hesketh team with a comprehensive two-year warranty as standard.
To own one of the exclusive Hesketh 24 models is to own a piece of modern history and a piece of the unique story of Hesketh.

This is the free-range layer model we intend to implement as a social enterprise with rural low-income farmers. If they sell the eggs themselves at the Farmers' Market, each egg should fetch rm1.00 each. We will supply them 200 pullets that are close to laying unlike what is happening now when the poor farmers are given day-olds and in no time, disease will wipe out all the birds.
At the very least, the farmers can expect an income of between rm2500 to rm3000.00 per month.
We will be starting with five farmers in Pahang.

17. The Frankfurt School of Critical Theory

Introduction to Theory of Literature (ENGL 300)
This first lecture on social theories of art and artistic production examines the Frankfurt School. The theoretical writings of Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin are explored in historical and political contexts, including Marxism, socialist realism, and late capitalism. The concept of mechanical reproduction, specifically the relationship between labor and art, is explained at some length. Adorno's opposition to this argument, and his own position, are explained. The lecture concludes with a discussion of Benjamin's perspective on the use of distraction and shock in the process of aesthetic revelation.

The Third Industrial Revolution: A Radical New Sharing Economy

The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system.
A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment.
This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and m...

The idea of the commons and the future of capitalism

Keynote Lecture by ProfessorYochai Benkler (Harvard Law School) at the IASC 2nd Thematic Conference on Knowledge Commons - EngelbergCenter, New York UniversitySchool of Law, September, 2014
According to Professor Yochai Benkler, the past three decades have seen the emergence and growth of rich literature on the commons, which challenged some of the intellectual foundations of financial, dehumanized form of late-twentieth-century capitalism.
In his keynote lecture, Professor Benkler discusses how work on the commons pushed back against five core elements of such ideology. First, work of the Ostrom school beat back Olson-inspired skepticism about the possibility of self-organization, and has been extended to new areas by work of culturally reconstructed commons. Second, the Institutiona...

The perspective of a world-wide increased demand for transportation energy puts a lot of pressure on scientists and engineers to develop efficient, robust and competitive industrial processes for the large scale production of biofuels, among which bioethanol is probably the most important one. Major sustainability issues have already been raised and relate mainly to the overall energy balance and soil depletion due to intensive farming, in addition to impacts on food prices. Second generation ethanol produced by saccharifying lingo-cellulosic biomass obtained from specific crops (eucalyptus, miscanthus, etc.) or from agricultural or industrial wastes (corncobs, straw, etc.) constitutes a very promising conversion route since it can literally coexist without competing with food crops. For e...

The rise of vertical farming - (VPRO documentary - 2017)

Food flats and vertical farming as an alternative to our inefficient food system: in order to do vertical farming in a sustainable way, we must integrate the food production into the urban infrastructure for a significant part. At present, our food system is inefficiently organized: our food travels many kilometers, uses a lot of water, is wasted and pollutes the environment. Nevertheless, the 7 billion inhabitants, often living in large cities, need to be fed. Food flats and vertical farming in urban agriculture are important alternatives to our current inefficient food system.
Original title: Boer zoekt voedselflat
To produce sufficient food for the estimated - nine billion people in 20 years, experiments with vertical farming, rooftop gardening and even sea-farming are being conducted...

Speaker: Lisa Nakamura, Director of the Asian American StudiesProgram, Professor in the Institute of Communication Research and Media Studies Program and Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign
The most popular website on the Internet for American users, Facebook, is a site that is so widespread that it is coming to replace email for many younger users. However, it was initially one of its smallest, most culturally homogeneous, and most exclusive. In 2006, being on Facebook meant that you were a student at one of the most exclusive private universities in the world: Harvard.The Internet is a media technology that many view as inherently democratic and thus multiracial or even antiracist. However, the history of Facebook's structure, affordances, aesthetics, and user base were formed within a racialized social network--the elite private university--that has both consolidated its now-unquestioned hegemony and reflects the logic of exclusion that produced it.
SNS's like Facebook permit users to visualize and manage their social relations, to contain, regulate, and circulate them by mathematical means, or algorithmically. From its earliest days race has been understood as essentially algorithmic and has shaped online social networks from the beginning. Indeed, the notion that race is informational is part of the earliest understandings of racial classification as scientifically and biologically based rather than contingent, contextual, and culturally constructed. The social networking site's structure, coding, aesthetics, and form produce an elegant apparatus to manage social identity, inclusion, and exclusion, in short, to mediate race, gender, and class.

The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system.

Keynote Lecture by ProfessorYochai Benkler (Harvard Law School) at the IASC 2nd Thematic Conference on Knowledge Commons - EngelbergCenter, New York UniversitySchool of Law, September, 2014
According to Professor Yochai Benkler, the past three decades have seen the emergence and growth of rich literature on the commons, which challenged some of the intellectual foundations of financial, dehumanized form of late-twentieth-century capitalism.
In his keynote lecture, Professor Benkler discusses how work on the commons pushed back against five core elements of such ideology. First, work of the Ostrom school beat back Olson-inspired skepticism about the possibility of self-organization, and has been extended to new areas by work of culturally reconstructed commons. Second, the Institutional Analysis and DevelopmentFramework pushed back on the plausibility of abstract modeling as the most useful foundation for designing institutional and organizational models, insisting on diversity, complexity and context. Third, work on the information commons and open access models for infrastructure resources refuted the claimed dominance of exclusive property and price-based exchange as the precondition of growth and material well-being. Fourth, the success of commons-based production provided extensive existence proof, which combined with experimental work operated to refute the idea that universal self-interest was a usable model of human behavior to inform institutional and organizational design. Fifth, and finally, the work on global commons combined with investigations of social production to underscore the necessity of, and possible paths towards, a re-embedding of production in social relations.
Professor Benkler concludes that, together, these combine to provide an image of a possible path of humane, socially-embedded
production system for the twenty-first century.

GARY BECKER
This the second lecture in the "Lectures on Human Capital" series by Gary Becker. This series of lectures recorded during the Spring of 2010 are from ECON 343 - Human Capital, a class taught every year by Gary Becker at the University of Chicago. In this class, Becker expounds upon the theory of Human Capital that he helped create and for which he won the Nobel Prize. Please see attached lecture notes, video annotations, and reading list for more information.
---
Professor Becker models the investment in the human capital that parents make on behalf of their children. He analytically develops a simple one-overlapping generation rational choice model in which the parents can only spend income on their own consumption goods or in the human capital investment of their children. He then derives the comparative statics predictions that are implied. These results set up a discussion about intergenerational income mobility and regression to the mean in this context. Finally, he begins to discuss capital markets and their imperfections.
Throughout the discussion, Becker assumes the following: a single kind of human capital investment, one-parent household (i.e. no marriage or unisex model), and a one-child household. The parameters in this model are the altruism and the income of the parents, and the parameter that converts the human capital of the kids into earnings. Common microeconomic theory assumptions about utility and production functions are settled.
Key concepts: altruism, capital markets, capital markets imperfections, consumption goods, intergenerational income mobility, investment in human capital, one-overlapping generation rational choice model.
Main discussions:
• Lecture 2, (06:00-09:25): Professor Becker provides context for the model he develops.
• Lecture 2, (14:00-15:10, and 17:10-19:40): Professor Becker explains the meaning of parental altruism in his model.
• Lecture 2, (23:50-26:00): Professor Becker discusses why diminishing marginal returns of human capital investment is a reasonable assumption.
• Lecture 2, (29:00-30:50): Professor Becker explains how the future earnings of the kids are determined and the role played by the parameters in the function that converts a child's human capital into earnings.
• Lecture 2, (01:01:50-01:06:50): Professor Becker starts the discussion about
intergenerational income mobility and regression to the mean in this context.
• Lecture 2, (01:12:20-01:14:10): Professor Becker stresses the difference between intergenerational income mobility and income equality.
• Lecture 2, (02:15:50-01:02:20): Professor Becker discusses capital markets and its imperfections.
Main quotes:
• "(...) if the world was full of selfish parents we can close up this part of the analysis and go home".

Speaker: Teun van Dijk, is a scholar in the fields of text linguistics, discourse analysis and Critical Discourse AnalysisAuthor of several monographs including Text and context. Explorations in the semantics and pragmatics of discourse. London: Longman, 1977, Strategies of Discourse Comprehension. with Walter Kintsch. New York: Academic Press, 1983, News as Discourse. Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum, 1988.
Annotation: In this lecture I'll tell about the progress of my new book Discourse and Knowledge by summarizing some results of the respective chapters of this multidiscpliinary study. I propose a new, relativist and naturalistic approach to knowledge defined as beliefs shared and justfied by the criteria of an epistemic community. I summarize how knowledge is involved in the cognitive processes of discourse production and comprehension, and how knowledge as a form of social cognition, just like attitudes and ideologies is shared in a sociocultural epistemic community or in specific social groups, for instance through epistemic institutions such as schools and the mass media. Since knowledge depends on the criteria of epistemic communities, an anthropological approach studies the cultural variation of knowledge(s) across the world. Finally, the linguistic and discourse analytical approach to knowledge goes beyond the usual study of the expression or presupposition of knowledge in sentences -- as is the case for the study of topic and focus, evidentials, modalities or presuppositions -- and details how knowledge is managed in discourse for the establishment of global (discursive) topic and focus, local and global coherence, various kinds of description, granularity, and many other properties of knowledge based on the expression of semantic situation models controlled by pragmatic context models.

The perspective of a world-wide increased demand for transportation energy puts a lot of pressure on scientists and engineers to develop efficient, robust and competitive industrial processes for the large scale production of biofuels, among which bioethanol is probably the most important one. Major sustainability issues have already been raised and relate mainly to the overall energy balance and soil depletion due to intensive farming, in addition to impacts on food prices. Second generation ethanol produced by saccharifying lingo-cellulosic biomass obtained from specific crops (eucalyptus, miscanthus, etc.) or from agricultural or industrial wastes (corncobs, straw, etc.) constitutes a very promising conversion route since it can literally coexist without competing with food crops. For example, there are interesting research work on intercropping corn with different species of Brachiaria with an increased overall photosynthetic efficiency, the first being a source of food starch, the second constituting the primary source of cellulose for conversion into biofuel.
Sugarcane has one of the highest photosynthetic efficiencies in the plant kingdom, being able to convert around 1% of incident solar energy into biomass with a high sucrose content, which is very easily fermented and converted into bioethanol. Its large scale cultivation is a well established agro-industrial business in Brazil, particularly after the development of flex-fuel technologies, which freed the consumers from their captive condition by enabling the choice of any proportion of gasoline/ethanol depending on market prices. Also contributed to this picture a combination of simultaneous favorable conditions, such as a good incidence of sunlight, amenable temperatures, regular and adequate rain pattern, availability of arable land, fertile soils, long term research efforts to develop hybrids adapted to specific conditions, etc. Despite a highly favorable overall energy balance when compared with other biomass feedstock, there is still a lot to be done to improve conversion efficiency, to minimize GHG emissions, to preserve soil fertility, aquatic resources and so forth. It is also necessary to increase processing flow rates beyond 1000 tsc/h to enable benefits from economies of scale. An integrated agro-industrial model for the sustainable production and conversion of biomass into biofuels and added value products has been proposed. The instantiation of this model to a typical (reference) sugarcane industrial plant reveals several obstacles and bottlenecks to its implementation, mainly due to lack of scientific knowledge and absence of robust and cost-competitive large scale processing technologies related to 2nd generation ethanol and high concentrations microalgae cultivation.
To overcome these difficulties a large spectrum of expertise needs to be articulated, going from genetics, biomolecular sciences and cell biology to engineering design and optimization, industrial processing and sustainability assessing. Specific research topics and actions are: 1) understanding the structure and composition of ligno-cellulosic biomass, 2) development of modern plant genomics and genetic transformations to enable advanced studies of photosynthesis and metabolomics aimed at increasing cell conversion efficiency, 3) definition of sustainable agricultural practices with special focus on water and soil preservation, energy and feedstock requirements and logistics, 4) identification of new biochemical conversion routes, which involve enzyme structural biology and protein engineering, with special relevance to biofuels and added value biochemicals, 5) development of innovative industrial scale processes and equipment for cost-competitive biomass transformation and 6) construction of tools for assessing economic viability, ecological footprint and social impacts of these new technologies. To meet these expectations it will be necessary to orchestrate induced and exploratory research, the first being responsible for scientific discoveries which are the basis of disruptive technologies enabling large evolutionary leaps, the second promoting its consolidation through a series of incremental steps resulting from experimentation, refinement, and increasingly realistic testing.

2016 new Hesketh 24 first photos & details production model
HandBuiltLuxury...
The release of the limited edition Hesketh 24 marks the beginning of a bright new chapter in the history of this famousBritish marque.
As the first all-new Hesketh model to be produced in some thirty years, the exclusive Hesketh 24 celebrates the marque’s impressive roots in Formula 1 with Hesketh Racing and their famous driver James Hunt. Taking inspiration from the Hesketh 308F1 car that Hunt drove to victory in the 1975Dutch grand prix, the Hesketh 24 will once again prove passion for engineering excellence and quality can achieve outstanding results.
Under new ownership and management, Hesketh Motorcycles Ltd has shown in the production of the new 24, just the beginning of plans to establish a British motorcycle company with a reputation for quality, luxurious, hand-built machines.
Named after the number on James Hunt’s 1975 F1 car, this new model will be limited edition with only 24 built and on sale internationally.
Developed and designed by the Hesketh Motorcycles team, the 24 uses only top quality components and has been painstakingly built with attention to every detail. The vision behind the Hesketh 24 was to produce a modern interpretation of what a Hesketh should be in todays’ market. Retro styling coupled with modern technology, the Hesketh 24 balances the style, quality and luxury of the original bikes, but with the technical excellence and reliability that the marque deserves.
The heart of this new model is undoubtedly the substantial 1,950cc V-twinS&S X-wedge engine, offering an undeniably high amount of torque. Air-cooled and with a proven power-train, the meaty V-twin was chosen for its excellent reputation and reliability. In a unique twist the X-wedge is also the engine used for the quintessentially British Morgan three-wheelers – a British icon using a proven American motor goes to show the quality of X-wedge.
Modifying the engine especially to suit the Hesketh 24, the team turned to expert British tuners, HarrisPerformance Engines, putting to good use their forty years’ experience in pushrod engines and drag racing to produce the exceptionally powerful 24 engine. Indeed Hesketh will be able to offer all limited edition Hesketh 24 customers at least three different power options on their bespoke model, with Harris providing stage engine tuning for various levels of preferred power.
The Hesketh 24 bodywork is in the unmistakeable colours of James Hunt’s Hesketh F1 car with graphics designed and produced by none other than BSB champion, Tommy Hill. In fact Tommy will be the first person to ride the Hesketh 24 in public at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed as he takes the new model up the famous hill-climb.
Dripping in brand-name components from the likes of Öhlins, Beringer and Baker, the Hesketh 24 uses only the best of the best – offering unbeatable luxury and exclusivity. For example the seat is made from the finest Italian nappa leather. Fully waterproof and super-soft the seat is the work of F1 class leather upholsterers, d:class, who have already put their name to the seats of McLaren.
Each of the limited edition Hesketh 24 models will feature an 18 carat gold plaque on top of the tank with the unique number of that particular model. Along with the knowledge that each bike has been hand-built by Hesketh technicians at their Surrey headquarters. Hesketh 24 owners will enjoy full-service back-up from the Hesketh team with a comprehensive two-year warranty as standard.
To own one of the exclusive Hesketh 24 models is to own a piece of modern history and a piece of the unique story of Hesketh.

POLITICAL THEORY - Karl Marx

Karl Marx remains deeply important today not as the man who told us what to replace capitalism with, but as someone who brilliantly pointed out certain of its problems.

FURTHER READING
“Most people agree that we need to improve our economic system somehow. It threatens our planet through excessive consumption, distracts us with irrelevant advertising, leaves people hungry and without healthcare, and fuels unnecessary wars. Yet we’re also often keen to dismiss the ideas of its most famous and ambitious critic, Karl Marx. This isn’t very surprising. In practice, his political and economic ideas have been used to design disastrously planned economies and nasty dictatorships. Frankly, the remedies Marx proposed for the ills of the world now sound a bit demented. He thought we should abolish private property. People should not be allowed to own things. At certain moments one can sympathise. But it’s like wanting to ban gossip or forbid watching television. It’s going to war with human behaviour. And Marx believed the world would be put to rights by a dictatorship of the proletariat; which does not mean anything much today. Openly Marxist parties received a total of only 1,685 votes in the 2010 UK general election, out of the nearly 40 million ballots cast…”

Free Range Egg Production Model

This is the free-range layer model we intend to implement as a social enterprise with rural low-income farmers. If they sell the eggs themselves at the Farmers' Market, each egg should fetch rm1.00 each. We will supply them 200 pullets that are close to laying unlike what is happening now when the poor farmers are given day-olds and in no time, disease will wipe out all the birds.
At the very least, the farmers can expect an income of between rm2500 to rm3000.00 per month.
We will be starting with five farmers in Pahang.

Facebook, Model Minorities, and the Production Culture of the Digital Industries

Speaker: Lisa Nakamura, Director of the Asian American StudiesProgram, Professor in the Institute of Communication Research and Media Studies Program and Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign
The most popular website on the Internet for American users, Facebook, is a site that is so widespread that it is coming to replace email for many younger users. However, it was initially one of its smallest, most culturally homogeneous, and most exclusive. In 2006, being on Facebook meant that you were a student at one of the most exclusive private universities in the world: Harvard.The Internet is a media technology that many view as inherently democratic and thus multiracial or even antiracist. However, the history of Facebook's structure, affordances, aesthetics, and user base were formed within a racialized social network--the elite private university--that has both consolidated its now-unquestioned hegemony and reflects the logic of exclusion that produced it.
SNS's like Facebook permit users to visualize and manage their social relations, to contain, regulate, and circulate them by mathematical means, or algorithmically. From its earliest days race has been understood as essentially algorithmic and has shaped online social networks from the beginning. Indeed, the notion that race is informational is part of the earliest understandings of racial classification as scientifically and biologically based rather than contingent, contextual, and culturally constructed. The social networking site's structure, coding, aesthetics, and form produce an elegant apparatus to manage social identity, inclusion, and exclusion, in short, to mediate race, gender, and class.

The Third Industrial Revolution: A Radical New Sharing Economy

The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system.
A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment.
This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life. But with climate change now ravaging the planet, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.

The idea of the commons and the future of capitalism

Keynote Lecture by ProfessorYochai Benkler (Harvard Law School) at the IASC 2nd Thematic Conference on Knowledge Commons - EngelbergCenter, New York UniversitySchool of Law, September, 2014
According to Professor Yochai Benkler, the past three decades have seen the emergence and growth of rich literature on the commons, which challenged some of the intellectual foundations of financial, dehumanized form of late-twentieth-century capitalism.
In his keynote lecture, Professor Benkler discusses how work on the commons pushed back against five core elements of such ideology. First, work of the Ostrom school beat back Olson-inspired skepticism about the possibility of self-organization, and has been extended to new areas by work of culturally reconstructed commons. Second, the Institutional Analysis and DevelopmentFramework pushed back on the plausibility of abstract modeling as the most useful foundation for designing institutional and organizational models, insisting on diversity, complexity and context. Third, work on the information commons and open access models for infrastructure resources refuted the claimed dominance of exclusive property and price-based exchange as the precondition of growth and material well-being. Fourth, the success of commons-based production provided extensive existence proof, which combined with experimental work operated to refute the idea that universal self-interest was a usable model of human behavior to inform institutional and organizational design. Fifth, and finally, the work on global commons combined with investigations of social production to underscore the necessity of, and possible paths towards, a re-embedding of production in social relations.
Professor Benkler concludes that, together, these combine to provide an image of a possible path of humane, socially-embedded
production system for the twenty-first century.

GARY BECKER
This the second lecture in the "Lectures on Human Capital" series by Gary Becker. This series of lectures recorded during the Spring of 2010 are from ECON 343 - Human Capital, a class taught every year by Gary Becker at the University of Chicago. In this class, Becker expounds upon the theory of Human Capital that he helped create and for which he won the Nobel Prize. Please see attached lecture notes, video annotations, and reading list for more information.
---
Professor Becker models the investment in the human capital that parents make on behalf of their children. He analytically develops a simple one-overlapping generation rational choice model in which the parents can only spend income on their own consumption goods or in the human capital investment of their children. He then derives the comparative statics predictions that are implied. These results set up a discussion about intergenerational income mobility and regression to the mean in this context. Finally, he begins to discuss capital markets and their imperfections.
Throughout the discussion, Becker assumes the following: a single kind of human capital investment, one-parent household (i.e. no marriage or unisex model), and a one-child household. The parameters in this model are the altruism and the income of the parents, and the parameter that converts the human capital of the kids into earnings. Common microeconomic theory assumptions about utility and production functions are settled.
Key concepts: altruism, capital markets, capital markets imperfections, consumption goods, intergenerational income mobility, investment in human capital, one-overlapping generation rational choice model.
Main discussions:
• Lecture 2, (06:00-09:25): Professor Becker provides context for the model he develops.
• Lecture 2, (14:00-15:10, and 17:10-19:40): Professor Becker explains the meaning of parental altruism in his model.
• Lecture 2, (23:50-26:00): Professor Becker discusses why diminishing marginal returns of human capital investment is a reasonable assumption.
• Lecture 2, (29:00-30:50): Professor Becker explains how the future earnings of the kids are determined and the role played by the parameters in the function that converts a child's human capital into earnings.
• Lecture 2, (01:01:50-01:06:50): Professor Becker starts the discussion about
intergenerational income mobility and regression to the mean in this context.
• Lecture 2, (01:12:20-01:14:10): Professor Becker stresses the difference between intergenerational income mobility and income equality.
• Lecture 2, (02:15:50-01:02:20): Professor Becker discusses capital markets and its imperfections.
Main quotes:
• "(...) if the world was full of selfish parents we can close up this part of the analysis and go home".

Teun van Dijk. Discourse and Knowledge

Speaker: Teun van Dijk, is a scholar in the fields of text linguistics, discourse analysis and Critical Discourse AnalysisAuthor of several monographs including Text and context. Explorations in the semantics and pragmatics of discourse. London: Longman, 1977, Strategies of Discourse Comprehension. with Walter Kintsch. New York: Academic Press, 1983, News as Discourse. Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum, 1988.
Annotation: In this lecture I'll tell about the progress of my new book Discourse and Knowledge by summarizing some results of the respective chapters of this multidiscpliinary study. I propose a new, relativist and naturalistic approach to knowledge defined as beliefs shared and justfied by the criteria of an epistemic community. I summarize how knowledge is involved in the cognitive processes of discourse production and comprehension, and how knowledge as a form of social cognition, just like attitudes and ideologies is shared in a sociocultural epistemic community or in specific social groups, for instance through epistemic institutions such as schools and the mass media. Since knowledge depends on the criteria of epistemic communities, an anthropological approach studies the cultural variation of knowledge(s) across the world. Finally, the linguistic and discourse analytical approach to knowledge goes beyond the usual study of the expression or presupposition of knowledge in sentences -- as is the case for the study of topic and focus, evidentials, modalities or presuppositions -- and details how knowledge is managed in discourse for the establishment of global (discursive) topic and focus, local and global coherence, various kinds of description, granularity, and many other properties of knowledge based on the expression of semantic situation models controlled by pragmatic context models.

The perspective of a world-wide increased demand for transportation energy puts a lot of pressure on scientists and engineers to develop efficient, robust and competitive industrial processes for the large scale production of biofuels, among which bioethanol is probably the most important one. Major sustainability issues have already been raised and relate mainly to the overall energy balance and soil depletion due to intensive farming, in addition to impacts on food prices. Second generation ethanol produced by saccharifying lingo-cellulosic biomass obtained from specific crops (eucalyptus, miscanthus, etc.) or from agricultural or industrial wastes (corncobs, straw, etc.) constitutes a very promising conversion route since it can literally coexist without competing with food crops. For example, there are interesting research work on intercropping corn with different species of Brachiaria with an increased overall photosynthetic efficiency, the first being a source of food starch, the second constituting the primary source of cellulose for conversion into biofuel.
Sugarcane has one of the highest photosynthetic efficiencies in the plant kingdom, being able to convert around 1% of incident solar energy into biomass with a high sucrose content, which is very easily fermented and converted into bioethanol. Its large scale cultivation is a well established agro-industrial business in Brazil, particularly after the development of flex-fuel technologies, which freed the consumers from their captive condition by enabling the choice of any proportion of gasoline/ethanol depending on market prices. Also contributed to this picture a combination of simultaneous favorable conditions, such as a good incidence of sunlight, amenable temperatures, regular and adequate rain pattern, availability of arable land, fertile soils, long term research efforts to develop hybrids adapted to specific conditions, etc. Despite a highly favorable overall energy balance when compared with other biomass feedstock, there is still a lot to be done to improve conversion efficiency, to minimize GHG emissions, to preserve soil fertility, aquatic resources and so forth. It is also necessary to increase processing flow rates beyond 1000 tsc/h to enable benefits from economies of scale. An integrated agro-industrial model for the sustainable production and conversion of biomass into biofuels and added value products has been proposed. The instantiation of this model to a typical (reference) sugarcane industrial plant reveals several obstacles and bottlenecks to its implementation, mainly due to lack of scientific knowledge and absence of robust and cost-competitive large scale processing technologies related to 2nd generation ethanol and high concentrations microalgae cultivation.
To overcome these difficulties a large spectrum of expertise needs to be articulated, going from genetics, biomolecular sciences and cell biology to engineering design and optimization, industrial processing and sustainability assessing. Specific research topics and actions are: 1) understanding the structure and composition of ligno-cellulosic biomass, 2) development of modern plant genomics and genetic transformations to enable advanced studies of photosynthesis and metabolomics aimed at increasing cell conversion efficiency, 3) definition of sustainable agricultural practices with special focus on water and soil preservation, energy and feedstock requirements and logistics, 4) identification of new biochemical conversion routes, which involve enzyme structural biology and protein engineering, with special relevance to biofuels and added value biochemicals, 5) development of innovative industrial scale processes and equipment for cost-competitive biomass transformation and 6) construction of tools for assessing economic viability, ecological footprint and social impacts of these new technologies. To meet these expectations it will be necessary to orchestrate induced and exploratory research, the first being responsible for scientific discoveries which are the basis of disruptive technologies enabling large evolutionary leaps, the second promoting its consolidation through a series of incremental steps resulting from experimentation, refinement, and increasingly realistic testing.
